Starting off 2020 with a favorite and a personal breakthrough. 💙 I’ve never brought both feet all the way to my head totally unsupported before. (Swipe left for my favorite unsupported pic) Granted, I’d never thought to try. I was playing around with a new transition the other day and got close, so I wanted to revisit it. What makes the top pose ‘passive’? It’s the push with my arms to open up my front body that makes it passive. My legs are still quite active, but not as engaged as the bottom photo. I need more contraction to make the foot to head connection because my head doesn’t go back as far without the support. My body is stronger - I’m more open and move with control since I started doing mobility drills regularly. My partnership with @themobilitymanifesto has been an incredible education for me. Our Yoga Edition and YogaMoPedia programs are changing the game and I’m so proud of what we’re doing. 2019 was a year of cultivating relationships - creating, sharing, traveling. 2020 will be a year of nurturing and growing those relationships. In addition to improving and expanding on existing mobility programs, there will be trainings and workshops. Retreats are happening as well. So much good stuff. Cheers to a new year of growth, getting stronger, more mobile and lots of adventure! 💙 #yoga #yogapos #yogacanheal #yogaivesyousuperpowers #yogaenmalaga #yogamaceio #yoganapohodu #yogaforrunnersandathletes #yogaondine #yogaforpregnancy #yogara #yogalinsky #yogapitbull #yogamorningtonpeninsula #yogabelles #yogaperdana #yogabadass #yogamikeart #yogaclt #yogamatbags #yogaliguria #YogaWithNature #yogaisparty #yogavietnam #yogaafter50 #yogaleggingsaddict #yogapedia (London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7dnBqAH8lV/?igshid=bqwpzixhh80k

🤔Flexibility vs Mobility ♥️ What’s the difference? I post a lot of ‘passive vs active’ pose examples. The same concept behind this post, only these two poses - while having some similarities - aren’t the same. 🔥They are, however, great examples of flexibility vs mobility, a distinction I’ve only really come to understand more recently. In yoga, we emphasize flexibility. We use props and gravity to deepen our poses. If we can’t reach our feet to pull them, we grab a strap and use it to assist. I’ve done it countless times - wether a strap, block, a wall, the ground, my hands/arms, you name it - I’ve used it to deepen my own practice. In the top photo, I’m using my arms to pull my leg up and over my head. My hamstring is relaxed and my hip flexor is getting a huge stretch. Is this bad? Not necessarily - but it can be. If I don’t have the strength and stability to support the joint at the end range of motion, I risk injury to that joint. Flexibility is extreme range of motion. Mobility is having control over your extreme ranges of motion. With mobility comes the strength and stability. In the bottom photo, I’m not using anything to assist the foot to head connection. My end range of motion is controlled. #yoga #yogapos #yogacanheal #yogaivesyousuperpowers #yogaenmalaga #yogamaceio #yoganapohodu #yogaforrunnersandathletes #yogaondine #yogaforpregnancy #yogara #yogalinsky #yogapitbull #yogamorningtonpeninsula #yogabelles #yogaperdana #yogabadass #yogamikeart #yogaclt #yogamatbags #yogaliguria #YogaWithNature #yogaisparty #yogavietnam #yogaafter50 #yogaleggingsaddict #yogapedia (Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ZEkumHHtQ/?igshid=12zbzeyqa8695

Make sure you share this with someone to help inspire them! Thanks for sharing @doroteapersonal #inflexibleyogis ・・・ I started doing yoga and they told me I am pretending to be something I am not. I started doing yoga and they told me they don’t see the point in any of this. I, nevertheless, continued doing yoga and started capturing my progress, yet they became angry and started mocking me. "What does she know about working out anyways? It is already too late for her to get flexible anyways. And why does she keep taking photos, she is no expert." I would love to say people have been very supportive of my journey, but these are just some of the accusations I had to deal with on daily basis. I would hear these things all the time, even from people who were (back then) some of the closest people I had. Yes, I would love to say I had all the support of this world. But I didn't. And funnily enough, it turns out that was still completely okay. You don't need all the world to support and to encourage you, you just need one person - and that person is you. And it will always be only you. Nowadays, a lot of people are very easy to call me "the split queen" or something similar to that, because I can split any time any place you want, and although it is flattering to some extent, I definitely know it is not something I will ever take for granted. Because I know how much hard work was put into getting where I am now. And let me tell you, not having support system isn't the worst thing that could happen to you. Setbacks in your journey are. And they are here to either break you or make you. 🔺Follow and tag a friend interesting YOGA with you: #yoga #yogapos #yogacanheal #yogaivesyousuperpowers #yogaenmalaga #yogamaceio #yoganapohodu #yogaforrunnersandathletes #yogaondine #yogaforpregnancy #yogara #yogalinsky #yogapitbull #yogamorningtonpeninsula #yogabelles #yogaperdana #yogabadass #yogamikeart #yogaclt #yogamatbags #yogaliguria #YogaWithNature #yogaisparty #yogavietnam #yogaafter50 #yogaleggingsaddict #yogapedia # https://www.instagram.com/p/B7G9QIVHk7u/?igshid=yduqmzb0nuvv
